BAGUIO CITY: After learning from undisclosed sources that the historical Teachers Camp aims to develop as a mall, Baguio City Councilors Elmer Datuin and Richard Cariño asked the Department of Education and the Heritage Conservation Society to preserve historic Teacher’s Camp as a heritage site.

In last Monday’s regular session by the Baguio City council, both local legislators authored a resolution asking the DepEd and the HCS to preserve Teachers Camp. The camp was declared a heritage site in 2005 by a Baguio City council resolution along with the Baguio Central School the oldest elementary school in Baguio. The councilors expressed alarm over information that there is an ongoing plan to privatize Teachers Camp and developing it into a mall.
